Include git commit hash in jar version

Question

I\'m using maven and my goal is to include the git commit hash in the version number. Something like : 1.1.{git_hash}.

I\'m trying to follow this tutorial.

Answer 1

The above accepted answer didn't work for me. I found the link https://dzone.com/articles/maven-git-commit-id-plugin, from where I copied the plugin code below. It worked first time for me. I now have the git.properties file automatically included in my target JAR file. Very useful for tracking.

pl.project13.maven
git-commit-id-plugin
2.2.4

    
        get-the-git-infos
        
            revision
        
    


    ${project.basedir}/.git
    git
    false
    true
    ${project.build.outputDirectory}/git.properties
    json
    
        false
        false
        -dirty
    

Add finalName to build section to also have the version in the target file name

${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-${git.commit.id.describe-short}
